It may have only just happened on our screens but The Bachelorette runner-up Matty J lost his chance at love months ago.
The marketing manager is now back into full-time work and returning to the predictable comforts of daily life.
The time may have passed but Matty J told Mamamia he is yet to reach out to former news presenter Georgia Love.
“I haven’t spoken to Georgia. Last night I was thinking, do I give her a message? Do I say anything?”
The 29-year-old said he believed it might be too soon to make contact.
"Hopefully down the track I can reach out to Georgia at some point and let her know that there are no hard feelings," he said.
"I did message Lee last night just to wish him all the best."
Matty J also shared how he felt doing the The Bachelorette media circuit alongside newly revealed winner Lee.
"Originally he was meant to come to Sydney and do the media together – but he had to be in Melbourne," he said.
"It was kind of weird as well, having to still pretend and keep this lie that we still don’t know."
"Deep down I’m hurting and deep down Lee is smiling."
Look. If we have learned anything from Sex and the City it's that in order to work out how long it will take you to get over a relationship, you just have to divide its total length in half.
Dated for two years? You'll be okay in one.
Dated for 3 months in front of teams of stylists, cameramen, extras and other men?
Well, let's give it 2 months and a few seminars where you learn to 'love yourself first'.

So, when Matty's done with his 'learning to love yourself first' seminars, I am available :)
I was so invested in this show and in Matty and Georgia. After reading and watching follow up interviews, I still see Matty as the better "catch". In all his interviews he has been incredibly open, honest and gracious where as Lee's interviews have come across as contrived and a bit disingenuous towards Matty. I guess you could say Lee comes across as a bit smug. Alex was far more appreciative of Nikki.
I think Georgia is absolutely crazy for turning Matty down. He truly is a gem.
